When you’re trying to sell your home, the first thing that buyers will notice is your home’s curb appeal. If your lawn and the outside of your home are cluttered and aren’t well-maintained, then the buyers will likely worry that the home’s inside is in the same state of disrepair. Maintaining proper curb appeal doesn’t have to be a full-time job. Here are some simple ways to improve your curb appeal. 

1. Maintain the Landscaping

One of the easiest ways to increase your curb appeal is to keep the landscaping in good condition. Keep the lawn mowed, and the weeds pulled. Cut back any trees or bushes that have grown out of control and rake up any leaves that have fallen. If you don’t want to maintain the landscaping Ellington CT yourself, consider hiring a company to do it for you. 

2. Put Things Away

You might look at some items as useful things that everyone has, so it doesn’t matter if you keep them out, but you’d be wrong. It doesn’t matter if it is a water hose, trash cans, or your kid’s toys. If you aren’t using it, you should put it away. A yard full of stuff is chaotic and doesn’t look good, which isn’t going to make a buyer feel confident about the house, and they likely won’t want to put an offer in on it. 

3. Wash the House

If you don’t regularly powerwash your house, then it’s likely covered in dirt and debris. Over time, the dirt starts to dull the paint color, and the house doesn’t look as nice as it could. When washing the home, make sure you don’t get too close with the power washer and use a gentle attachment. You don’t want to take off parts of the paint; you just want to remove the dirt and show the beauty of your home.
